The Tupinambá surround the village and aim bows and arrows over the fence towards the European men. On either side of the European settlement there is a Tupinambá camp, each featuring a large fire with a wooden frame placed over it at the center and several hammocks, all surrounded by thick poles arranged in a circle.

  Here we see Gulliver speaking to an official from the Lilliputian court. The official sits in a sedan chair, however the chair attendants were dismissed.
